Cue an inspired idea from Cousins, in partnership with Edinburgh’s Filmhouse cinema, to tour a season of films that feature in his film, many of which are rarely shown on the big screen. The Cinema of Childhood season begins in April taking place in independent cinemas across the UK including the Filmhouse and Glasgow Film Theatre. There are opportunities to see three films from Iranian filmmaker Mohammad-Ali Talebi, The Boot, Bag of Rice and Willow and Wind, accompanied by Q&As with Talebi himself (the director’s first visit to the UK). Later in the season you can look forward to Senegalese drama The Little Girl Who Sold the Sun, about a girl with crutches who sets out to sell newspapers and Long Live the Republic, a Czechoslovakian film from the 60s about a young boy living in the countryside at the end of the Second World War.
